STOCICI/OLM, Nov. 1 I.—His Royal Majesty lies received the following Report from the General in Chief of the Finnish army, including a Report. from Colonel SANDELS, Chief of Brigade, touching a s evere battle which has been fought in the vicinity of Idensalmi : " Since the Armistice, concluded between the Swedish and Russian 'armies; was declared to be at an end, a Russian Officer arrived from Lieutenant- General TUTSCHKOFF, with the intelligence that hostilities would be immediately recommenced. " Soon after I received a Report that my advanced posts had been attacked by the Russians, and com pelled, by the enemy's great superiority in number, to -fall back to Werda Bridge, which was soon after broke down after the troops had crossed it. , A ;vio lent cannonade immediately commenced by the enemy from the neighbouring heights, which was vigorously returned from our side, .and Prince Doi.- GORUCKI, who commanded the Russian van, was mortally wounded at the beginning of the gtion, and expired scion after., In the mean time the enemy's chasseurs and infantry crossed the bridge, which they had repaired, formed in line, and advanced against, our troops, notwithstanding the vigorous ; cannonade which was ••kept ap- from outbatteries,: which they attempted to•catry, but were repulsed 'by Oiit'frOCipS - with the utmost intrepidity andVhf-Otit, and piltstred as far as Weida Bridge. In this action: the enerriy'S loss conkisfed in p6o men killed and . . wounded, .and 70, taken _prisoners, among whoth are-two-Field Officers; -.i; , ;- " . AoOrding to tlietcaciunt of the prisOners, the enepy:s. force in the ibpve of `air, which lasted six hours; gsCeedQd 6000 men, commanded by Lieute nant.t4enerat TUtSCHKOFF, and under him by Ge : • neraN RACitmAiqbFP, Prince DOLGORUCKI, and . ALE XRYEFF. " At the dose of the aetion, the Ruisidn -Com manding dener4l proposed a suspension of ticistili, ties for 24 hours, .10 bury his dead, which I was 'the more ready to grant, as our toss was also consider - - able, consisting of 30 killed and 250 wounded." ."Brigade Quarters,'litensaimi, oa. 28, aes." FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER. DFSCR IPTION OF THE PREY AILING FASHIONS FOR THE MONTH, AS TAKEN FROM MINU FR OBSERVATION, BY A LADY OF DISTINGUISHED TAsrt, FROM REAL DIES ES; PYTILACTED FROM " LA BELLE ASSENOLES.; OR, KELL's COURT AND FA NRIONABLZ MAGA 7...1NE,‘" FOR THE PRESENT MONTH. • ~ The Spanish cost u me , which now so universally, prevails, is in itself most attractive and gracefut ; anti blended (as it now is) with the fashions of our isle, produces a most be. coming and advantageous efred. but we must here take oc casion to observe, that the Spanish style is better adapted for evening or full dress. When a nation like, Great Britain, whiehls rich in its own .ingenuity, borrows'•ihe 4rabits of another, they should be allowed to improve and diversify without encroaching too much on national taste. 'The Spanish hit, of most becoming and simple construc tion, is apptOpriatennly to full dress, or the carriage; 'for the streets it is certainty ill-adapted, being too commanding and glaring. • All the distinguishing points of the Spanish comfit - re are• very striking, and possess much airiness and grace;- andare conseqUently best calculated for. that higher order of decoration which should distinguish the eveniog, or full dress. We are induced to offerohese remark; from the present general rage for almost:every species of the' SPanish habit, doubtless arising from a noble ardour in the present magnanimous cause in which our nation is engaged ; and from that natural association of feeling which descends from greater to lesser things. But while we express our admira tion at a praise-worthy enthusiasm, we wish not to digress from the express purpose of these remarks, which is intended to point out to the fair individual riot only what is most ad vantageous, but also what (tetrads from her personal charms. To come, therefore,• more immediately to our purpose : obsetve.several elegant improvements in the mottle, cloak, • and'pelisse ; and amidst the diversity which presents itself, we mention the following as the most seled aifelegant., Clcurks or. mantles of grass:green or purple velvet, or of fine Vtgonoi, or Merino cloth, lined throughout with sirs net, and - trimmed with spotted ermine, or other fur.. The scarlet mantle is frequently ornamented with borders of black velvet, in the Tuscan style, with full collars to correspond. Pelisses (which are alternately formed of velvet, cloth, or sarsnets) admit also of much variety in their construdion ; some are formed plain, with high full collars, and clasps of gold or cut steel confitte them in front from the .throat to the feet. Others have large fancy capes, or a sort of sca pulaires trimmed with erinitua, falling over the shoul ders. The Opera mantle is usually worn short and cut to a point behind; if of white satin, it is trimmed with gossamer fur or swansdown ; if of cloth, with spotted er mine or. blue fox. White tippet's are not so general as last season ; but they are an article so neat and appropriate, that they will never be entirely exploded: The Russian bonnet, of cloth or velvet, ornamented with chenille, or curled floss trimming, is exceedingly unique and elegant.— The Minerva helmet, formed of the Union satin, with the patriotic plume, is a most attradive and distinguishing arti die in this line. Velvet bonnets with full tiara fronts, with ends pendant on the left side, after the Hungarian style, blend with the straw bonnets of the simple cottage form ; the former are worn with short lace veils, and the latter triinmed with a ribband or handkerchief appropriate to •the season. No shelter for the pedestrian fair can be more con sistent and becoming than this last mentioned article. Spa. nish hats for full dress, are -formed of satin, frosted velvet, and gold or silver tissue. Satin caps blended with lace, with full tiara fronts, formed of-curled .feathers, or leaves, are most becomingly adapted for ladiei of mature years. -Lace caps in the Armenian and Roman style are well suited' to the morning, or half dress. Coronets, tiaras, and richly ornamented combs, in gold, silver, or gems, are seen to,orna. • meat the hair in Lull dress ; amidst this splendid species of decoration, the Spartan diadem is most novel and elegant. Morning robes are formed either in simple French wraps, sitting-close to the form, or in round gowns of plain muslin or cambric, with high waist of imperial knotted muslin, buttontadown the back, and worn with a high vandyke ruff of muslin. or lace, fastened in front of - the throat with a ' ,brooch of jewellery. There is an infinite and,splendid va flay in the article of trinkets since our. last communication; and the taste and ingenuity displayed in the construction of these ornamentscannot be surpassed, They are too nume rous to particularise ; but we take occasiun here to remark that the most elegant clasps for the reams are now exhibited ___at...the brilliant marts of Cashion--they are en-suite with the brooch and are alternately of diamonds, pearl; cut steel, gold, or silver. We consider then) a most consistent and attractive 'ornament. Shoes are worn more showy than we . have re membered them tor some time. They - are formed of deep winter colours, embroidereil at the or•es in coloured silks, and in gold or silver. Nothing, however, can surpass in elegance the white satin slipp.r ; nor tiny shoe be too plain for common occasions. Thereis no change worthy of remark •in gloves. White trench kid invariably belong to full dress. The must fashionable colours for the season are scarlet, pur ple, aantster, grAss-iircen, and motonv shol4;. LAW REPOlfr. • , public Officers, in such city as London, obe cor recting and retrenching those things which bad been given by their predecessor -; but conSideribg ihw prey sent price of things, great merit — bel6nged to that man wi l t ) , had coorageatet fortitude enough to do it, and to resist those claiins for which there- wa, tto foundation, except the practice of 20 years. For ale though this was stated to be a custom, a custom, to be good, must be immemorial s it must, besides, be reasonable. Tiere. most t)c in it a quid /Tr() (riv. of t he City o f L on d on wA3 the ( T ) l th ie cc S ,r w o o t rd- ar the ebeLoerrd Mayor, and never attended the Sheriffs but when they attended the Lorci Mayor. He was one of t be household of the Lord Mayor, and therefore the Lord May, r was, ilany ()oily was, tianie for the perquisites of the•Svvord-bearer. Mr: Alder man Staines: had been called a rough diatn6ue Was indeed a very plain, but a very sensible and a very honest man, and great merit belonged to him for the retrenchment which he made in the expences of the Old Bailey: The reform was a ety good one, and although it was unpleasant to be reflected -on for keeping his money in his pocket, yet he knew how to lay it out on objeas much more in need of it than such men as the Sword-bearer of the City of London. This Gentleman had a gallery at the Old Bailey, and the housekeeper bad ptoved that . she had uniformly delivered to him all the. emoluments Whieh were derived from admissions into that gal= lery, into which any body who paid the price and fixed the day might enter. Nay, he had no hesita tion in declaring that he had seen it sometimes filled with notorious pickpockets. He believed that the notorious Wentworth was apprehended thew—Pt happened to be . another gallery]. However th'at might be, nothing was more clear in the Law and the .Cotistitution of England, than that the galleries of .the Old Bailey, and the galleries of all the Courts of Justice in England, are supposed to b,•,. and ought to be, open and accessible (until filled) to all hi,4 Majesty's subje6ts who behave proi;erly, and that without the payment of any money whatevet.. if any person in the Court in which he wAS now speak ing, any Officer of it, were to be found taking money of any other for adatission into it, and that person were brought before his Lordship for so doing, he would soon have reason to repent of what he did.— This Plaintiff ought to' have had the sense to remain quiet on this occasion.. [ - -VitTRT , OF IciNC'S - BENCH, N o v: gs. CofTEREL, Esti. V. WELCH, KNT. The ATTONEY-GENERAL stated this .CZIC on the • part of the Plaititiff, which, be said, was a case very :easily turned . ' into ridicule, although it was a very serious one to 'his Client. The Plaititiff, , Mr. Cot . terel,. was - the Sword-bearer Of 4 l 4. fe'City of London, and he, in that capacity, . was the 'Housekeeper of the Session House at the Old ; .11aily; and the occu pier, of the cellar there; that, iii %Irate of his office, he claimed a variety of perquisites and emoluments, . ~ and among them that for which this a'Etien was brought, namely,' three bottles of Port Wiee for every day that the Sessions were held - at the. Old Bailey. He had two tables, one at the Mansion House, which Was furnished by the Lord Mayor, of whose.: household he was'an officer; and when the Sessions were held at the Old Bailey, he had also a table there, consisting of from sixteen weigh teen persons, who were amply supplied with wine; • but the Cause for which this action was brought wa s that of three bottles of Port Wine during each day of •the last Sessions held there, and which three bottles per day were usually delivered to him on the last day of the Sessions. The office of Sword-bearer Of -the Lord Mayor, or of the City of London, was a saleable office - in the City, for which a large sum of money had been paid, to the amount, he under stood,. of 10,0001.; and therefore it was not rea sonable to expeti that he should give up the emolu ments of such an office. He attended the Lord Mayor arid the Sheriffs in their processions —be at iended'at the Old Bailey Sessions. There were . dif-. telent houses fair different officers' in the City; that .flrtToi‘l:is intended which was assigned to the Sword-bearer was at the Old Bailey, called the Sessions House. When the Sessions were held there, the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs had the use of the cellar. It had been the custom, time immemorial, for these three bottles of Port Wine per day to be delivered to this Gentleman, until recently, .wheti, in several instances, and first by Sir John Eatner; the Custom 'was resisted. It ,was 'not so ,mucti , fer the value - of this Wine, as to ,establish the'Plaintiff's right to it, that this ealien Was 'brought'; =for if - his claim td this Wine was. given up, all 'the 'different perquisites of his office might-soon fall. • .- . - - - -- It appeared.in evidence, that this Gentleman suc ceeded Mr. Heron Poney in' the office of-Sword hearer to the'CitY, on the 13thnf MarCh, 1787, and that he was entitled to' all the profits and einolurnents to .which his, predecessor was entitled, and which belonged to the.office.
